The man behind Yahoo’s plan to become the most ‘trustworthy’ tech company

Based on my limited knowledge, more and more consumers are looking for privacy options. If and when demand for privacy takes off, Mozilla and Yahoo would be in good shape if they were already established in user's minds as the 'trustworthy' vendors.
it seems odd that the same people flock to google for privacy when google's entire business model rests on selling or farming it's users data in various ways. (where-as apples is selling products which you pay for)
I've said before that Apple has a business model that is capable of being privacy conscious- so I'm more willing to trust them than google.
it just seems like some very well placed propaganda.
I don't really get it. Is it because you feel the need to root for your favorite or something? Either way, it's a fallacy that brings nothing to the discussion.
It's more propaganda than fallacy, but I'd agree it is questionable what it brings to the discussion.
So they acquire it and promote it as this big privacy alternative to Google search seperate from Yahoo search (which is tied to obligations of their deal with Bing). Assuming that all search engines they make aren't subject to the same obligations with Bing, they get a nitch brand and a opportunity to build a new search engine from the ground up? Oh and for all that work they get no money from targeted ads and user data?
